" Can't start yet I have to wait. I don't know how long it'll take I'm -- any second now. Burger will be in here any minute now. 'cause I want to open the show with. The email from the Orlando Magic man who emailed us yesterday I'm I'm I know he's gonna email back today. I'm just Clayton. He -- stared. You meet personally had a personal view alert for a native mark Mueller what's that it's yes dad -- ambling around. And watch -- really fine basketball game on TNT without thinking of of Miller's call La answers that there that is my issue your exactly right that's right if you. Orlando Magic and yesterday and it is email would go magic. You gotta count your family room at a lot. You need to and you need him -- national Narnia and at a professional and dot and it's actually think about them. We hear it between it -- you know he's got when I can't say exactly. Queries from 1145. And it was eight it was a it was a deceiving 1980. Victory with network never in doubt from a the end of the first quarter person had ago -- Doug Collins. Well what needs to shout -- personal."
" The greens they hit four threes. Going to be a tie game. They're only four possessions here at the magic they can hit three dot."
" I think bonds and I baby now they going down -- is there a -- it any -- and I'll Saturday and their coming off the big road trip. I I -- Doug really knows his stuff he's got needs to Cheryl lesson show less and less is more -- some you know a little less. Agents it's it's like we have new intern here. Portrait of three possessions away from him three women women -- international media and actually isn't a very nice -- from Charleston she can't answer. She ties an -- or -- mr. IVE keep track so so she was sharing stories today about her commute to the radio station. And I finally had to say okay no more sharing I don't want to know you know about some offer fellow commuters on on. The subway or commuter rail or whatever was -- meets to share less with us Dudley it's just you know take a -- once and one. Like these past and that's what it is always passion about the game of basketball I cannot happen."
" On line. Calm down where here where we're into at all you know like it is clear it was clear to me I said to myself. Which is what I -- I talked not to talk to myself I think -- study Miller -- colors and I documents. As that it is clear no matter what happens in this game Orlando might win this game tonight it is clear to me. After seeing -- matchup twice this year. That they're not on the same levels itself Orlando Magic. Q and not see the Celtics I would not be afraid of them in a seven game series. -- 2 teams in the Eastern Conference that everybody else to worry about the Boston Celtics in the Cleveland Cavaliers. Everybody else is not below Orlando has it -- and it couldn't happen well well well well it has to be an injury. I don't think anything weird like the Orlando Magic the young Orlando Magic -- Dwight Howard -- going to get. -- is going to click on them and they're going to model everybody down in the playoffs penalty that. Now if if LeBron gets hurt or one of the Celtics Big Three gets hurt -- the ball game changes of course but it. I I just don't see it I see those teams. The Celtics and Cavaliers. Just playing a different level of basketball in the magic are very good they've beaten the Lakers twice this year. Decisively. They got. As we said yesterday arguably the best big guy in the east. And into white power any."
" Any you know it's funny joke as an -- he's a wonderful player I mean I I I love you really talented right but it's funny we were talking about him earlier today. And I thought you made a great point he got one thing he's missile it'll more dog in your baby little more our -- are."
" I'm going to beat you down don't -- don't even think about them that thinking about coming into Orlando. And trying to leave here with a victory you know would have an effect on come into the lane kind of I don't --"
" He needs he needs a little more of what that golfer who was sitting courtside is trying to come back. Past you know which is I don't -- beaches and you know on going to -- is just question of how on when I mean he needs a little bit of that. Her like you said an end and I was thinking about last like as he started settling for stuff. Pretty early on. We started out great in only. He's in the ladies banging bodies. Jam and Andy's -- and it is Hamdan. And the and I am thinking Ellis this guy can be a beast and at least that's the beast you have he's got -- beast body and but then he started settled you know what Kendrick Perkins doesn't really want a winner I think I'll just bank off the."
" Out they would and his defense and in defensive. Some of the celtics' big men of the officials last night. Had something. Were big men I don't know all the way say I was 5657. Now and always got picked on by the big guys to you know. You happen to be -- I don't like. -- about the call upon. Some really petty calls on Howard. And patty calls on big babies and petty calls -- Kendrick can tell it's eating every I know desperately look at that game. And and you wonder. Exactly they think you're com this stuff up that has nothing to do with the play. That thing that bothers me more than anything about their two things that he's from official -- you but. To become -- one. Calling about it has no bearing on the play whatsoever. You just watch your side much whatsoever -- you want to get involved somehow insured. Yet I am and the other thing is. If you are two feet away from the play. And the other official is thirty feet away from the play and he makes the call. That you call to."
" And and on with the rare exception where. Where it was clear the the closer guy gets screened out by a Redman or something and and and and I understand that that can happen. You know when the guys look at squarely at the play and doesn't make the call and and as you said you're thirty feet away and you do make the call it does drive you crazy as a."
" You know us up and -- the draft record and guys -- you know what I'm going to tell you. Let's talk about him after you listen to. I'm going to talk about first I'm an election here with this man -- this de -- what Doug Collins I don't know how well former Celtic. Onetime Celtic called I know where --"
" We need I was watching have to ask -- these before halftime this this I didn't seem pre -- some on how can I -- any pregame stuff by. 8 o'clock here at night and I switch the channel over and and went."
" briefly set the scene for a I think at TNT they might be auditioning people forward Charles Barkley job so far the auditions are failing miserably. I'm a spark that really do I know he was stupid by getting an end to a car when he was strong in telling the police offer that the police officer that he wanted to them. Some favors. I'm not from the officer about from the young lady who lives in the comment was looking for the only to be generous with their time yes very generous with their time anyway. So I think they're bringing in different people and and seeing what works out announcing that but clearly. That's what's going last night had Ernie Johnson of course run the show yet -- an adjustment well -- league. Yet Chris Webber who is really Lewis come along -- getting better but he looks to dis interest. Like Lelie a subtle."
" You know Lehman on the table like dance and you know looking over it can mean like."
" Kenny GP got to -- last night Idaho. That was probably the most animated I've seen him at halftime."
" Yet Tigers are all -- Jack it was deliberate and are not my fault that I you know I have played for GMs who -- very good that I played perhaps played for great and great owners so. It would -- museum with and without Washington does wonders just. That draw in the end he had Gary Payton. So they're talking about. All-Star snobs and that the energy people who -- has Garnett yeah. Should not -- kids they start I think isn't as I think -- some guys out there as planned better to him and act chaos. And acting around Devin Harris is playing better you okay give me give me a -- would. That's what you that would take Kevin Garnett has us starting the conference on -- conference -- have -- I would have to big loss. Bosh who take he's not he showed it. He's like played better than me for a team effort team that is can't do it it doesn't matter what anybody and it doesn't matter sixteenth when he we're talking about a guy who's performing. We're sand who has consistently performing every not Kevin Garnett is not performing every night not the -- Willis not a single Jeter not under ultimately -- comparing him to himself. They're not so all the forwards. That's not fair revote in east you could have found mice and nobody is -- not I'm not certain statistically I'd say as a team it that you put take Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics would you put his boss and it wasn't told the they're not they've actually done a good -- that's what could go to the basketball not Bob yeah good point -- going out of good. -- on the talk about now."
" And on line at City Hall it. I mean actually -- that telecast credit where you before you had -- They had a little that the three had graphic April 4 quarter and they were talking about. The reduced production. Of the Big Three another career averages than what there and what they're averaging this year. And Collins was correctly point out. It you know it was for the greater good of the team. You know doc is managing their minutes appropriately trying to make sure that you know they can stay fresh enough to be a sportsmen that play -- time and they showed the numbers and -- probably ever shared that Gary Payton he's looking at sixteen points anytime there."
" It doesn't care and how many times we sent it. On this show you don't even think about. Who the oh the leading scorer on the -- it doesn't even cross your mind it doesn't matter for people who follow the team. It doesn't it it doesn't cross your mind -- daily -- at."
" KG is averaging this -- KG it averages sixteen I don't care if KG and averaging twelve. I don't care. Because I don't think about it scoring averages and."
" And and and it's not even on the radar screen around here. That's the team what that is the that's a lazy man's way at work and I mean the lazy man says all while -- sixteen points his numbers are down he's not All-Star -- Caminiti he's not talking to people he's not look at it again I'd probably hasn't watched them play all year long. He he's not watching to see what's involved here he's -- all sixteen points can't play. See that's a lazy."
" You know one. Kevin Garnett would treat Chris Bosh like an appetizer has -- Is if they would he would destroy him. And you can't tell me that you can you can watch Chris Bosh play. And Chris -- a fine player -- player that's fine I'll take -- Chris Bosh every day. Everyday I'll take KG right now. Versus Chris Bosh who got many more years in KG doesn't sleep. I hate win win in effect a guy who played the game. Defensive player of the year nine time All-Star as he pointed out last night. I made the All-Star team nine times that would just about. The bows on a losing things. I hate when guys who have played the game. Make arguments like that it makes you wonder. What is going through there. Lazy it's it's it -- eight -- ten minutes before the light goes on all you know is not -- point north lazy not -- and it Norton. It is it's the reason Gary Payton had a lack John. With another team to win a championship rather than win a championship. Whip -- would mean wanted to welcome letter with a big guy with much on cap in BP and that poster of all those guys. If the mentality. How can. They don't understand what it takes to win. If an error they they have tremendous talent. They while he was some of the things they do on the court great numbers great awards. They don't understand. If you look at if you look KG and you think he's replaceable on this team with Chris Bosh that you don't understand what it takes to build a championship team."
" Which I think that's. Not only astute observation on your part but evident. He doesn't understand he doesn't it he's one of those it's all about me guys. You know it is my number my AM I was a nine time All-Star."
" Let's say something else that I was insulted about okay insulted me with this company backed away from the way from. Fortunately. Because he had backed away. I would personally walked to Atlanta. And cuffed him around in auto I would person locked in Atlanta and protest as they please you cannot put this man on the air again yeah he cannot commitment. He's seen it said. That is most intriguing okay -- halftime thing I watched him. As as as Jamie fox once I'm not saying you're on crack but it's cracking shall I say something very -- ish last night. He -- Al Jefferson. Is a better player -- Tim Duncan."
" and now that he backed away by saying well Al Jefferson is having better seasons than Tim -- Understand. I don't know what you're talking about I don't care how long by the here that you could I wouldn't be able to get up a shot against you wouldn't it would dribble the ball to half court against Gary Payton even now. It is -- wearing his soon and he's wearing his Sunday issues now I can not do anything against him but. He got nobody talking about Tim Duncan is one of the five best power forward to ever play the game ever to ever play again."
" Jefferson. Jefferson should not in the Al Jefferson. Great numbers again numbers don't Al Jefferson in the same sentence I asked Tim Duncan."
" You hit early. I think he understands and other people understand that the audiences this is open Mike night you know at at the chuckle you know -- community auditions. You know I gotta say something out there I Charles is crazy I I I I I tell -- sorry ally I gotta I gotta go nuts here. And I you know I I got you know what it's like and it now go back to hockey analogy. It it's the difference between Pierre McGuire. And Mike -- Mike Milbury sounds like he saying outlandish things but there's a basis to them. -- others there's something bear Pierre -- just a stupid things right for the sake of saying stupid things and and being on TVE. Well Gary Payton is is hey I'm here also stop or you don't or drag me negate all I'll say it."
" I can believe it. Secondly when he was there last night -- and they're very nice turnout that great coming Kenny Smith always looks great."
" He has the legendary talent and I know 'cause I have this thing and -- at the we'll take a break -- will open applies to get a lot more stuff talked about what you guys Peter King will join us twelfth and as he does every Friday during football season -- what two visits left.
